TRYING TO TAKE IT ALL IN

TRYING TO TAKE IT ALL IN
by matt burns

Last little stroll before I have to leave
Back and forth
Back and forth along the shore
Trying to take it all in
Can't leave 'til I'm satisfied
I stop 
And stare into the horizon
Pry my eyes wider with my fingers
Trying to suck
Or soak it all in
Just a little more
Little more
The waves crash on the shore
And crash
It's time to go now
I turn and walk away
But I turn around again
One more look at the ocean
I'm still not satisfied
Still feel there's more to take in
The other vacationers seem so content
I'm here
In this beautiful place
And I can't get content
What I take in 
Is 
Never 
Enough
